Spring tease…

With snow covering the northeast, and cold weather in Florida (Yes, we are cold again down here, and snow is predicted for the northern Florida panhandle.), I thought that it would be nice to post spring photos. I took these photos in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia last April 28 — in the mountain elevations spring comes late. All of the photos were taken with an aperture priority setting of f/8 at 200 ISO, using a 70-300 zoom lens.

The above photo was taken with the lens set at a 300mm focal length, but because of the 1.5 crop factor created by the digital sensor in my camera, the result is equivalent to a 450mm focal length.
